  abstract = {An 8-year-old male sheep that was recumbent and in ill-health for over 7 days was euthanized. Necropsy revealed multifocal caseous abscesses in the cranial lobes of lungs, bilaterally. Microscopic findings included chronic suppurative bronchopneumonia with intralesional coccoid bacteria and multifocal granulomatous lymphadenitis of the tracheobronchial lymph node. Aerobic culture yielded heavy and pure growth of tiny, hemolytic colonies on blood agar, which were subsequently identified as Trueperella (Arcanobacterium) pyogenes, and confirmed using Analytical Profile Index (API) Coryne strips. Of 12 antimicrobial drugs tested against, including beta-lactam drugs: penicillin, ampicillin, and ceftiofur, the strain showed a susceptibility pattern typical of T. pyogenes, except for the resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Published reports are sparse showing T. pyogenes as a cause of multiple pulmonary abscesses in sheep. This report provides evidence of this organism as a cause of extensive pathological changes in the lungs of an old sheep.},
